What are some things you can think of that have been given a term that is dance related or a variation of?

Examples:

Muhammed Ali's famous foot movement in the ring - Ali Shuffle

Not sure whom it is attributed to, but describes the graceful quick movement of I think Deion Sanders - Electric Glide

And the Horizontal Bop!

How about Ted Nugent's Wango Tango.

I think I mentioned earlier that Mambo is the term for a voodoo priestess in Haiti.

DancingMommy - See what you started! :wink:

Here's a few that I can think of:

The Curly Shuffle -

This one is dear to me since when I graduated Junior College, the valedictorian yelled out "everyone do the curly shuffle!" as we went on stage. We got quite a bit of applause and made sure to make the sounds to go along with it. :P

Waltzing -

People always say things like "Do you think you can just Waltz right in here and talk to me like that? Why don't you get a job, get a life and lastly get the !#!@!@#! out of my face you $%^@#@!@#!@!" :D

And one from my military days - The Ft. Ord (or another post) Boogie; part of a marching cadence.

That reminds me of the local USABDA president, who saw a salsa contest advertised in the paper, and when he got there, realized that the contest involved COOKING. :shock: :lol: True story.

And I knew a printer who told me when they had an opening for a stripper which is the term for a person who prepares camera copy for the press they would get replies from women who were topless dancers. :lol:

From the military alphabet which uses whole words to represent letters.

Tango for "T"
Foxtrot for "F"

Unless it's changed in the years since I was serving.
